Subjects: Company law
Rapporteur (the Member appointed to lead Parliament's work on this text): DURAND Pascal (Renew)
Summary

This own-initiative report concerns sustainable corporate governance. Amendments debate global value and supply chains, transparency, due diligence and a level playing field, with some stressing it is for states to safeguard human rights and warning against administrative burdens and short-term shareholder focus, others citing the COVID-19 crisis exposing supply-chain vulnerabilities and noting few companies publicly list their suppliers.

Plenary votes

4 roll-call votes

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
